That's funny. I don't know anyone who wants to work who doesn't have a job. There are many jobs that take little or no capital to "create".
That is crazy... that just blows my mind because I have known soooo many of them. I guess this would explain why we have drawn such radically different conclusions about the world. I wonder where you live, in the land of jobs for everyone who wants one. You'd be doing a public service to go on over to the working forum and let people know. There are literally millions of Americans who would be interested in moving there.
Gimme, gimme what, informed? I have never taken a dime of public assistance
You're in gimme gimme land because you ideologically support those who have their hands out for more and more freebies instead of doing the responsible thing and supporting themselves by the sweat of their brow.

Not at all, informed. I support government programs that create and encourage opportunites, not hand outs.

I thought liberals insisted we needed an open border to stream illegal immigrants into the US because they do the "jobsAmericans won't do."
Wow. Tell that to my neighbor's college-age kid who mows lawns, plants landscaping, shovels snow (over the holidays), walks dogs, and performs handyman chores to support himself and put himself through school.
Some people are industrious, and have initiative, drive, and personal responsibility. Others simply shove their hands out for more freebies.
I'm sure that dog-walking pays handsomely.
How much does your neighbor's college-age kid pay in taxes? Would he qualify to vote per this columnist's criteria?

Hint: there's the problem, right there.
No chit, informed. What you thought about "liberals" is inconsequential. Ask a working American sometime -- left, right, center or circular -- how he or she feels about open borders and its twin off-shored jobs. Be ready for an earful. I would like to see the illegal workforce gone, and I'd like to see "jobs that Ameircans won't do" offered to Americans at wages that will entice them to do them.

Maybe you need to delve a bit deeper into these individuals motivations for not working. I just moved from a relatively economically depressed area. Many people are out of work, but also, many feel comfortable living off the public dole. Maybe we run in different circles.
